Princess Comet aka ''Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san" is a Magical Girl anime about Comet, the 12-year-old princess of Harmonica Star, who is sent to Earth in order to find the prince of Tambourine Star. Comet quickly becomes fond of life on Earth and the people who live there, but her life is made more complicated by Princess Meteor, a rival princess who is also searching for the prince and wants to claim him for her own.

Fish out of Water: Comet gets hit with this hard when she first arrives on Earth. By the end of her first day, she's reduced to tears because she can't figure out how to get food, since she has no Earth money.

Hidden Heart of Gold: That doesn't mean she's totally heartless, though. Sometimes she even willingly helps Comet with problems she can't handle on her own. It helps that in such cases, Comet doesn't hesitate to ask nicely. In some cases, she even helps Comet before Comet asks for help, especially if the problem irks her pride.

Punch Clock Villain/ Only Sane Man/ Hypercompetent Sidekick: Mook, true to her name, is not terribly thrilled to be Meteor's partner and spends a lot of time trying to dissuade Meteor from carrying out her nastier ideas. Since most of her "nastier" ideas tends to put her on the huge risk of making fool of herself... Yeah.

Rababou tends to act as Only Sane Man, nagging Comet to do her job to find the Prince while all Comet wants is to explore the world.

Rebellious Princess: Comet is a very mild-mannered example. When we first meet her, she's at a betrothal party complaining about her uncomfortable ball gown and wishing she could just ditch the party to go star-gazing, and when she's sent to Earth to find the prince, she's far more interested in exploring this strange new world than she is in chasing after some guy she's never met.

An interesting case with Meteor. After Comet denounces her betrothal with the Prince of Tambourine Star near the end of the series, Meteor does the same, announcing that she has no intention of marrying a wishy-washy Prince and that she would rather find her own way to become queen. Hearing this, her mother, who is the one who pushed her to pursue a relationship with the Prince, is actually pleased with this answer, since this means that Meteor had developed a backbone befitting for a queen.
